  • The Brain-Computer Interface: New Rights Or New Threats to Fundamental Freedoms?
    http://assembly.coe.int Doc. 15147 24 September 2020 The brain-computer interface: new rights or new threats to fundamental freedoms? Report1 Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights Rapporteur: Mr Olivier BECHT, France, Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Summary The rapid progress made in neurotechnology in recent years has the potential to create increasingly effective brain-computer interfaces (BCI). Access to the neural processes that underlie conscious thought implies access to a level of the self that by definition cannot be consciously concealed or filtered. This risks profound violation of individual privacy and dignity, with the potential to subvert free will and breach the ultimate refuge of human freedom – the mind. Cognitive and sensory enhancement through BCI could create separate categories of human beings. Individual identity, agency and moral responsibility may be diminished through the merger of neurological and digital sensory experience and decision-making processes. Such outcomes could change the very nature of humanity and of human societies. Democratic societies should ensure that basic ethical principles are respected. The huge potential benefits of neurotechnology are such that progress and innovation should not be stifled. Nevertheless, research should be steered away from foreseeably harmful or dangerous areas and towards positive applications. The committee considers that a sensitive, calibrated approach to regulation of emerging neurotechnology, including BCI technology, is needed, encompassing both ethical frameworks and binding legal regulation. It therefore calls on member States, the relevant intergovernmental committees of the Council of Europe and the Committee of Ministers to take specific steps to this end. 1.

  • Stocktaking of the Georgian Presidency of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe (27 November 2019 – 15 May 2020)
    MINISTERS’ DEPUTIES Information documents CM/Inf(2020)9 11 May 2020 Stocktaking of the Georgian Presidency of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe (27 November 2019 – 15 May 2020) I. INTRODUCTION 1. Georgia took over the Presidency of the Council of Europe’s Committee of Ministers on 27 November 2019 for the first time since becoming a member of the Council of Europe in 1999. It also marked the 20th anniversary of its accession to the Organisation, which has played a crucial role in Georgia’s path back into the European family. 2. It should be stressed that, of the 6-month period of the Georgian Presidency, 2 months took place during the Covid-19 pandemic, a most difficult and challenging period - which had a significant impact on the functioning of the Council of Europe. This unprecedented situation called for urgent new working methods for the Organisation and for the Committee of Ministers, which were duly supported and facilitated by the Presidency (cf. Section IV below). 3. In order to further promote and strengthen human rights, democracy and rule of law, Georgia established the following four priorities of its Presidency of the Committee of Ministers: 1. Human Rights and Environmental Protection; 2. Civil Participation in Decision-Making; 3. Child Friendly Justice – Converging Experience on Restorative Justice in Europe; and 4. Strengthening Democracy through Education, Culture and Youth Engagement. The Georgian Presidency elaborated a list of the Presidency’s main events (14 events overall)1, including major activities around four priorities of the presidency. In the framework of the Presidency of the Committee of Ministers, the Government of Georgia also made a voluntary contribution of €500,000 towards Council of Europe projects which support the priorities of the Georgian Presidency.
